My Garden and the Community

Gardens reflect our relationship with nature, shaping wellbeing and belonging. Community members co-create miniature gardens as collective artwork together.

Activity Type
Workshop
Free

Gardens are curated nature - they represent our relation with the outside and can be wild or kept, private or shared. They change with the seasons, provide food and oxygen, and influence our wellbeing and sense of belonging.

Community members, students and professionals will share their vision of gardens in miniature boxes, creating a collective artwork and patchwork of possibilities. The project combines innovative community engagement approaches from Maria Kramer's Live Projects at Westminster University and Catja de Haas's Giant Dolls' House Project, inviting participants to imagine and build their relationship with nature through creative making.
